Islamabad: Pakistani cricket-turned-politician Imran Khan left hospital on Wednesday after treatment for back injuries suffered in a fall in Lahore.

Khan, who has been fitted with a spinal brace to aid recovery, fell from a fork-lift taking him to a poll campaign podium on May 7.

A general election four days later handed a landslide victory to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). But Khan's campaign electrified many, pushing his Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) from a marginal party to the country's third-largest.
